The rise of the billion-dollar soup bowl
People rely on soup bowls every day. They're not just for soup anymore, they're for everything! The dinnerware market is growing rapidly, with global sales expected to reach US$60 billion by 2025, and soup bowls are riding that wave. Why? Because they're not just for broth anymore. People are using them for everything from ramen to roasted vegetables and, yes, even pumpkin soup. And don't forget that sales of ceramic dinnerware, including soup bowls, are growing steadily at a rate of 3.5% annually. Soup bowl sales are also on the rise.
There is a huge demand for specialty soup bowls like the French onion soup bowl or the classic ramen soup bowl. Soup bowls with handles are also very popular; people don't like burning their hands while handling a bowl of hot soup. So, whether it's feeding an army or just one cat, soup bowls are a favorite choice in the kitchen.
